Life is like four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life.I was born,I played a lot, and then I started school. I learnt many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the Sun shone, and some days it didn't.
In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn't have much time to think about. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.
Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a college student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped walking. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give us delicious fruits.
But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end and try to make my winter a warm one.

In many places the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons. In the north and south there are four seasons in a year. At the North and South Pole, there are only two seasons. In tropical (热带) places near the Earth's equator, there are two seasons, a wet season and a dry season.Each season brings changes. They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the world.
Spring starts when the day and night are the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier.Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their young in spring.
Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the north this is on June 21 or 22. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows faster on trees and plants. Little animals grow bigger and stronger.
Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again. During autumn, leaves change color and fall down from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes; they can use it in winter.

Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. 35 ?
As our planet moves around the sun, the light from the sun falls on the earth from different directions.This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. 36 . It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the sun.
The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator(赤道). Here, we experience summer from June to August. 37 . In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn.
38 . The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator. These places are called the tropics(热带地区). Instead of our four seasons,many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. 39 . Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too—a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer.
A. This is why we have spring and summer
B. This is because spring and summer are long
C. But do you know the colours of the four seasons

Roads become slippery and schools may close.Delivery trucks struggle to drive through the snow, and people have to shovel driveway s to clear the path.People face the challenges, but the holiday season brings joy, with Christmas lights shining brightly and New Year's fireworks lighting up the cold night sky.
